Fixed! I found out that you can play .MP3 and any other audio compression via URL but your audio compression must be: Bit rate: 128 kbps rate Sample rate: 44.100 HZ sample rate This is the same for streaming audio such as internet radio I was successful when playing streaming audio from internet rad...

Okay I figured out that it's a compression issue. Could not play a .mp3 url...

I'm not getting any errors But I'm not getting a...
